Jonas VILĖNIŠKIS
against Lithuania
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 23 May 2017 as a Committee composed of:
Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque, President,
Egidijus Kūris,
Georges Ravarani, judges,
and Andrea Tamietti, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 11 May 2010,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
1. The applicant, Mr Jonas Vilėniškis, is a Lithuanian national who was born in 1952 and lives in Garliava, Kaunas Region. He was represented before the Court by Ms V. Užupienė, a lawyer practising in Kaunas.
2. The applicant’s complaint under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the alleged lack of due notification of a court hearing was communicated to the Lithuanian Government, who were represented by their Agent, Ms K. Bubnytė.
3. The applicant failed to respond to the Registry’s last letter of 16 December 2016 (received by the applicant on 19 January 2017), reminding him that the period allowed for submission of his observations in reply had expired on 15 September 2016 and that no extension of time had been requested. His attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.
THE LAW
4. The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue his application, within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine, the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 15 June 2017.
